First UK Jail Sentence for Laughing Gas Possession After Christmas Party Bust

Thomas Salton, 30, has been sentenced to 35 months in prison for intending to supply laughing gas and ketamine at a Christmas party, marking a landmark conviction under new laws.

Thomas Salton was caught with party bags containing laughing gas canisters and ketamine, intended for a Christmas party.
Salton's arrest followed a traffic stop where he claimed the drugs were 'Christmas presents'.
Over £38,000 in cash and a 'naughty and nice' list of customers were seized from Salton's car.
This is the first conviction for laughing gas possession since it was classified as a Class C drug in November.
The conviction is seen as a significant step in the fight against drug-related anti-social behavior.
